Old School Mammoth/June Memories -Tell us a story/post pics

[Powder]

My two favorite memories.

1. Not too old, but last year my dad got wasted at Sushi Rei on Memorial Day (When it was snowing buckets!), and I had to drive home in snow that was at least a inch piled high on the roads. Lots of ice. Was when I just finished driving lessons

2. I think it is the same 05/06 storm, we had packed up, everything was in the car, we were planning on leaving Sunday morning to arrive ready for school on Monday. Welp, it started sprinkling snow down in Crowley (Where we were staying), and we thought, oh no biggie.

Wake up in the morning with the door enclosed by snow, the snow on the doorstepcombined with the snow falling from the room to cover up our door almost completely. OH WAIT all of our luggage was in the car, and all we had in there was T shirts and beer. So we started boiling snow to make water when my dad remember we had a cig bag(One piece suit) upstairs. So he jumped through the snow wall and trecked to the car to get the luggage, and we had our first official snow day, and missed school Monday

the 05/06 epic season. trying to make it up june on new years day. it was just puking snow down to the 3,000ft level. took us like 15 hours to get to bishop. continued on north, and just made it past the checkpoint before the shut down the 395 all together. we tried making it over deadman summit into june, but the plows stopped blowing and made a u-turn just near the cal-trans yard. so we turned around, headed back into mammoth. the new years crowd that tried to leave was now stuck in town, no one in, no one out. ended up sleeping in the emergnecy shelter in the mall. haha talk about fun times. mammoth got 95" in 30 hours. this is the vons parking lot...those are SUV's <br>

I remember that storm very well. I came up that monday morn with the first shuttle, sat for about 30/45 min. before they opened up the 395. The town was a mess with supplys low that day until they could bring the trucks up the grade that day /night. I love it when the storms pound the mountain all weekend then opens up with a bluebird on tues./wed.
